t-I CHOOSINGTHE LENS THAT'S BEST FOR YOU-IT DEPENDS
ON THE SUBJECT YOU ARE PHOTOGRAPHING.
'fhe subject you choose to photograph will determine
the lens you need. Although there is no strict rule for
lens selection, there are rule of thumb theories for
making picture taking more convenient. For example,
a telephoto lens with a focal length of over 200mm is
recommendedfor sports shots,while a 24/ 28mm range
u'ide angle lens is recommended for group shots and
wide scenics. Here are a few guidelines for selecting
the right lens for a specific occasion.

The Sigma 28-84mm F3.5-4.5
Fast, easy control of perspective and angle-of-view,is one of the key advantagesof the wide angle zoom lens. And

angle-of-view an amazing 45 degrees from 75 degrees to 30 degrees. The changing image in view finder is just
dramatic. Sigma's unique "Quintet-Cam-Drive-System" assures remarkably high optical performance at entire

A BETTER PICTURE QUALITY, THE FIRST TELEPHOTO OF ITS KIND. T!e^nlore you are captivated by the world of photography, the more you begin to seek a higher quality image. The APO Zoom lens has been designedfor the professional in the field. When one seeks to improve the quality of the image, chromatic aberrations become a matter of the utmost importance. The refractive index difference of each color produces a srnall shift of the image point, and greatly influences the image contrast. The adoption of the S. L.D. (Special Low Dispersion) lens allows the APO Zoom to eliminate chromatic aberrations to the maiximum degree and makes this the Sigma zoom series which produces a remarkably superior contrast picture. The sharp image without chromatic aberrations from these lensesare enough to satisfy the professional eye. The beautiful pearl tone finish is just the right design for this high quality lens series. 25 www.orphancameras.comView original page 27
